(TORONTO) - After a back and forth battle that saw the Maple Leafs rally from 3-1 deficit, Toronto and Montreal would need overtime to settle their rookie tournament game Friday night at Ricoh Coliseum.

Montreal's Matthew D'Agostini tied the game at 5-5 with 4:29 remaining in the third sending the game to overtime and setting up the heroics.

Luke Fulgham raced down the right wing and sent a pass across to Robbie Earl. His first shot attempt was blocked, but managed to sneak the second shot through the legs of Canadiens' goaltender Carey Price for the victory.
